What kind of wire do you use for headlamps?
Pretty much all of the other manufactures used 16 or 14 gauge wire on the headlamps… Chevy’s choice was 18 gauge… Very small considering todays lighting requirements. Then add in the years of corrosion at connections, wear at the light and dimmer switches and the amount of resistance in the circuit goes way up. So, use the right size wire.

How are headlight relays rated on a car?
Typically, the wiring on a car is rated for a nominal current and not necessarily for any peak current that may occur. Due to the “nature of the beast”, lamps take more current when they are cold compared to when they are hot. The wiring is usually rated for the “hot” value. This means the wire may be thinner than you would expect it to be.
Why are my headlight relays hot under the dash?
As the wiring harness ages, corrosion can also “thin out” the wire resulting in hot spots. If you install a new thicker wire in your car, you can connect it to the relay. This will solve the heat problem at the connector under the dash as the connector will only see the current needed to operate the relay.
Where does the fuse go on a headlight relay?
The two headlamps are connected together, as normal, and taken to Pin 87 of the relay. Pin 85 goes to ground while Pin 30 goes to the new 30A fuse. If you wish to, a separate wire from the fuse can be used for each relay and can be colour- coded the same as the corresponding headlamp wire. This is what I did.
